Aston Martin AMB 002 Marks Brand’s First Road-Legal Motorcycle
Aston Martin and Brough Superior have unveiled the AMB 002 Roadster, the marque’s first road-legal motorcycle, limited to 300 units with deliveries expected in late 2027.

Aston Martin has entered the road-legal motorcycle market for the first time with the AMB 002 Roadster, a limited-production machine developed in partnership with the British motorcycle manufacturer Brough Superior. The new model follows the track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro, which the two companies previously built together for circuit use, and marks a significant step in extending Aston Martin’s design language beyond four wheels.
The AMB 002 is scheduled to reach buyers late in 2027, with production capped at 300 units. The collaboration brings together Aston Martin’s automotive styling and engineering philosophy with Brough Superior’s specialist motorcycle craftsmanship, a pairing that has already produced the earlier track-focused machines. The roadster designation signals a shift from the racing-oriented predecessors toward a machine intended for public roads, broadening the appeal of the joint project to collectors and enthusiasts who want an Aston Martin-badged vehicle they can ride legally on the street.
Details of the motorcycle’s technical specifications remain limited at this stage, but the project is positioned as a high-end, low-volume offering consistent with both brands’ reputations for exclusivity and performance. Brough Superior, known for its hand-built motorcycles and historical pedigree, provides the engineering base, while Aston Martin contributes its distinctive aesthetic and brand identity. The 300-unit run is expected to generate strong interest among collectors, given the scarcity of the model and the established demand for previous AMB collaborations.
The announcement continues a partnership that began with the AMB 001, first revealed in 2019 as a track-only superbike, and later expanded with the AMB 001 Pro. Those earlier models were produced in limited numbers and aimed at racing enthusiasts, establishing a niche for Aston Martin in the two-wheeled world. The AMB 002 now adapts that concept for road use, a natural progression for a brand seeking to reach customers who value the marque’s design cues but prefer the practicality of a street-legal vehicle.
For Aston Martin, the motorcycle venture represents a diversification beyond its core sports car business, allowing the company to engage with a different segment of the luxury mobility market. The collaboration with Brough Superior, which has its roots in the early 20th century and is celebrated for its innovative engineering, lends credibility to the project within motorcycling circles. The limited production run and extended timeline to delivery suggest a carefully managed rollout, with the first customer bikes not expected until the end of the decade.
The AMB 002 arrives at a time when luxury automotive brands are increasingly exploring adjacent product categories, from bicycles to boats, as a means of reinforcing their lifestyle credentials. Aston Martin’s entry into road-legal motorcycles places it alongside other marques that have sought to translate their design and performance values into new formats. With only 300 examples planned, the model is unlikely to transform the company’s financial outlook, but it serves as a statement of intent about the brand’s creative ambitions and its willingness to collaborate with specialist partners.
Further details on pricing, performance figures, and full specifications are expected closer to the start of production. For now, the AMB 002 stands as a notable milestone in Aston Martin’s history, marking the first time the company has offered a motorcycle that can be ridden on public roads, and reinforcing the enduring appeal of the Brough Superior name in modern motorcycling.
